Opportunity Information: Apply for M23AS00399
This government grant opportunity, issued by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) under the Department of the Interior, focuses on identifying and mapping sand and gravel resources in Long Bay, offshore North Carolina and South Carolina. The goal is to support coastal resilience projects and mitigate conflicts over resource use.
BOEM manages offshore energy and mineral resources, ensuring development aligns with environmental protections. Through its Marine Minerals Program (MMP), the agency provides negotiated agreements to use Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) sediment resources for coastal restoration. This initiative is part of BOEM’s broader mission to balance economic benefits, environmental stewardship, and public interest.
The project falls under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), which mandates environmental and socioeconomic studies to assess and manage potential impacts from energy and mineral development. Cooperative agreements with state agencies and academic institutions have been successfully utilized since 1994 to advance marine mineral investigations.
This specific cooperative agreement seeks to evaluate subsurface units affecting the formation and distribution of OCS sand resources in Long Bay. With multiple federal projects already using OCS sand in the area, and the expansion of offshore wind energy leases, there is an urgent need to identify and reserve high-quality sand resources for beach nourishment and coastal restoration. The study aims to proactively locate the most suitable and cost-effective resources to support coastal resilience efforts while ensuring minimal environmental impacts.Apply for M23AS00399
